Exceptional Property

The casita was in an excellent location. We walked to the plaza every morning for exercise and the trees along the way were so pretty. The casita was exceptionally clean! We were very close to everything we wanted to see in Santa Fe. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet. The kitchen and laundry room was nice and had everything we needed. Hopefully this casita will be available next time we are in Santa Fe!

Quiet & Cozy

I loved every minute of my stay in this tastefully appointed casita, and though I was traveling along, I felt completely safe. The neighborhood was charming and so quiet I could hear crickets at night. The kitchen was very clean and well appointed. Aside from the lovely bathroom and very comfy bed, I appreciated the rather large closet which included drawers and shelving, enough for two people to share at least one weeks worth of clothes, etc. The casita couldn't have been better located, away from the downtown hubbub, but a stone's throw from galleries and really great restaurants. The hosts were also very responsive. I will definitely be returning!

Return to this Santa Fe Jewel

We were so happy to return to this Casita, which we first booked last March. It felt like home and was just as cozy, comfortable and welcoming as we remembered. And its proximity to Canyon Road with galleries and bistros is a plus!

Serious Plumbing issues

Upon arrival there was a very strong odor of sewer gas which permeated the entire casita. We called the host who was in Poland - she insisted the odor was not sewer gas but the portable AC unit which has “a funky odor”. She admitted the sewer drain recently had issues but had been “fixed”. After 24 hrs of using the plumbing the smell abated. 3rd day of our stay there was weak shower pressure with barely enough water to bathe. On the 4th day there was NO water coming out of the shower. While trying to reach the host in Poland, there was a loud crash & the tub spout w/diverter “fell” out of the wall. Now there was NO way to bathe. Host said plumber would come by during the day, but never did.That evening (6:30pm)while at dinner w/friends, the sister of the host (also out of state) phones to ask “when will we be home” to let the plumber in (he couldn’t find the hidden key). She admitted plumber had been there the week before & thought the problem had been fixed. We refused to cut our evening short to accommodate their plumber. We said we’d shower at a friend’s house but requested a one night credit for the inconvenience of not showering for 2days. Host said yes, we were due something, but never issued a credit OR responded. Instead, she filed an claim with the insurance policy we bought for $430. No refund & she bills Insurance! This is a very old building (charming as it is) with plumbing and sewer problems that the host is well aware of. It was a VERY stressful stay.

A great experience.

This accommodation checked all the boxes. Squeaky clean. Spacious room (larger that it looks in the photos). Very comfortable bed. Very inviting outdoor space with the acequia running through it. An easy 2-block walk to Canyon Road with its galleries and three restaurants. Quiet neighborhood with interesting possibilities for strolling.

Historic Eastside stay

Loved the location ! Charming casita! Only thing we would suggest to the host is to put better lighting on the steps ( ifor older guests - extremely important ) inside . Also the screen door creates a very tight opening to put keys in the front door. And if possible, put in dark window coverings. The room and amenities were great - thank you!

Wonderful casita

My wife and I loved our stay at this beautiful casita. We could live there full time! It has everything that you need and want. It was so cozy, and was one block from Canyon Road. We cannot wait to visit Santa Fe again, and hope that we can stay at this property.

Joya del Este really delivers

My husband and I agreed, this is by far one of the best rental spaces we've ever experienced. The space was immaculate as well as welcoming and restful. We also enjoyed discovering the many amenities that Margaret has carefully and genuinely "curated" to enhance the casita. Her design choices added splendid touches to the bath, the kitchen and the rest of the space. The appliances, the flatware and cookware as well as the dishes and cups were luxe and lovely. It was a real privilege to stay here. And although the casita is adjacent to the main house, the casita has its own entrance and is very quiet.

This rental is a first class updated property! Located in a very quiet safe neighborhood and close to everything. Beware, the property is located on a "one way" section of the street that Google maps does not pick up.

Clean and well furnished

Studio casita is clean and well furnished. Bed and furniture is comfortable. The best thing is the welcoming owners who were available to answer questions. We had a problem opening the lock box to get the key, and the owner came to the casita to let us in. Also liked the great location in an artsy neighborhood. Will stay again.

Within 5-10 minute drive to most places we wanted to see. Walking distance to Canyon Road galleries and two wonderful restaurants. Nice bathroom and kitchenette. Lovely, quiet neighborhood. Chairs in room were not too comfortable so limited time we wanted to spend in the room. Overall a good place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Martine

Why they chose this property

We love to travel with our kids but also appreciate an occasional couple’s gateway, and when we do that we want it to be very special. Our casita was created with that in mind.

What makes this property unique

Get a taste of the historic Santa Fe neighborhood with a convenience of dining options just minutes by foot from your doorstep. You will find the ever so popular Geronimo just a block away to celebrate any special occasion in style or grab a drink and tapas at El Farol, the oldest bar and restaurant in town. You can also grab freshly baked sconces and coffee from The Teahouse, or head there to enjoy your lunch in the shaded garden of fruit trees in the summer, and cozy adobe rooms and fireplace in the chilly winter season.
